Stock ponds and tanks dug, shaped, and finished to hold water on East Texas land. For cattle, for fishing, for the view off the back porch, or all three.

We build ponds the East Texas way: keyed and compacted clay core in the dam, slopes cut for stability and safe entry, depth where it counts for fish and drought reserve, and spillways sized so the first big spring storm does not take your dam with it.
On the clay-heavy ground that covers much of our territory, most properties can hold a pond that holds water. We will tell you honestly at the walk-through if yours is one of them.
We look at your soil, drainage area, and where a pond wants to sit on the land. Honest answers, even when the answer is not yet.
Size, depth, dam, and spillway planned, then one written by-the-job number, free.
Core trench keyed in, dam built in compacted lifts, slopes and depths cut to plan.
Spillway set, surrounding ground graded and cleaned, ready for rain, stock, or stocking.
From ranchland around Canton, TX and Kaufman, TX to weekend places near Athens, TX and Cedar Creek Lake, a well-built pond raises what East Texas land is worth and what it is like to own. We build them across all four counties.
Much of Kaufman, Ellis, and western Henderson County sits on clay that holds water well. Sandier ground east and around the lake varies more. We assess it on the free walk-through, and if your site needs a clay liner hauled in we price that honestly rather than let you find out the hard way.
Deep enough that drought and evaporation leave usable water, which for most ponds here means a significant deep end rather than a uniform shallow bowl. We shape depth around what the pond is for: cattle, fish, or looks.
Often, yes. Cleanouts, dam rework, and recompaction solve a lot of leaking ponds. We will tell you plainly whether yours is fixable or whether the money is better spent on a new site.
Many normal-sized stock ponds on private land qualify for exemptions in Texas, but rules depend on size and location. We will flag it during planning if your project is one that needs paperwork so you can confirm before dirt moves.
